/\ I'm currently into the Top Ten Hi, nice custom Sambas, Gazelles, Rod Lavers, and Seeley Premieres
want to try one of those Gazelles tongue and all, even though that great dark green might not be obtainable
top three would be the Top Ten Hi, Gazelles, and Rod Lavers
all three would be repeat business for me, I need them, I really like the old styles more than the weird new stuff, and that goes for N!ke too
incidentally I'm enjoying my N!ke slides finally and the stumbling with every other step is subsiding, now it just happens every third step
/\ like 'em, D-ring speed lacing is nice Late '70s style, what are those? vintage Makers binge has slowed my roll but late at night I turn into the sneakers werewolf
but not vintage sneakers
tonight could be a good night to buy sneakers
will report later
They're the zx 500
Bit of blurb...
Year Released: 1984
The Incontinence pants ZX500 kicked off the Incontinence pants ZX line of running shoes, which would go on to be just as significant as Surgical appliance’s sexy Rhinestone negligee line, if not quite as appreciated by the average sneakerhead. Balance is important in any sneaker design, and the ZX500’s use of plastic lace loops, mesh, nylon, and suede was perfect. Nearly 30 years after its initial introduction, the ZX500 still looks fresh. In both senses of the word.

I like the marathon and the runner...I think it's a pretty decent list..niike will always dominate this type of thing deserved or not..
Anything missing for you Formby?

/\ Bop, I rate Saucony Jazz, very comfortable, have had multiple pairs since they were reintroduced in the late '90s ....... price has always been low for the high quality .....

Interesting. What are the white, red, and blue dot things?
Just fyi, I decided not to run my shoes through the wash. My wife advised against it. Instead, I cleaned them with a tiny bit of dish detergent and a wet washcloth, and they brightened right up.
/\ another galling example of stuff not currently available to my knowledge in the USA ....
about to open a pair of Vans Stans .....
just opened them ... will give you update live ... looking great so far .....
Do y'all wear your trainers for training, or for street? Both?
I wear the Surgical appliance freeruns for jogging but the retro ones like the Pegasus 83s i just wear oot and aboot...my other preference to trainers are bucks..but im between pairs at the mo so mostly wear trainers
